@sabbatical Having it is a condition of my mortgage.
@charlotteclymer Gay boy math is wondering who the hell Travis Kelce is.
@freemo It was a little more complicated than that, but the claim was the start of a pretext to drop me.
The damage itself was from a hurricane, so no, I don't think that's my fault.
@freemo Just losing the claim would have been paradise.
Instead, they let me easily "win" the claim and paid out quickly (the tiny amount left over my deductible anyway)... only to use it as a pretext to drop me as a client six months later.
Now I'm going to have to scramble to find new insurance or my mortgage will fold. And finding insurance 3 years ago was hard enough before our GOP trifecta government let the issue stagnate to the point of falling apart. Property insurance is like the #1 issue for Floridians for the past few years, but all our government cares about is trying to punish companies for being too woke. I was hoping that my insurance going up by a thousand dollars each year would be the worst of that, but apparently it isn't.
I knew before today, that in theory, insurance only exists to take my money, not to actually insure things.
But last year there was a hurricane, and I figured that was special enough circumstances to warrant making a claim.
Boy, was I mistaken. I have learned my lesson. Insurance companies in Florida are the mob, and if you try to get even a dollar out of them, they will not hesitate to break your legs.

This fucking slaps.
No space for kids or the disabled? Tear it down and make them do it again.
@Anitambyrne "Free speech" isn't about normalizing shitty speech. It's about allowing it to exist.
Just because people can say those things doesn't mean they can't face consequences for them, though. GB News' choice to fire him for his speech is also an example of free speech (in this case, the derived freedom of disassociation). So free speech was the good guy in this situation.
So, it looks like I'm about to lose my homeowners insurance because my insurance company fucked me.
Since I live in Florida, and the GOP government has completely ignored the issue, I might not be able to find alternate insurance.
Which means I might have no option other than quick-selling my house by early next year.
Fuck #RonDeSantis. He was so busy with culture wars that he let this state rot.

@freemo Maybe no legal check, but I certainly hope the US military that oversees such launches have their own fair share of Stanislav Petrovs.
#Unity lost its commanding market share almost overnight and can't recover it even with backtracking.
The #WritersGuild won their strike against the studios.
The #Trump organization is being forced to dissolve by the courts.
The United States is suing #Amazon for blatant monopolistic practices.
2023 is turning out to be a pretty good year for toppling business empires.
Folks, if your employer misses even *one* paycheck to you, quit immediately. Don't let them run up a tab on your free labor. If a business is failing to make payroll, then they're already in such dire straits that bankruptcy is likely and then you probably get nothing.
You can debate whether north is 0 degrees or 360 degrees all day long, but I'd like to think we can all agree that "360 to 179" is the very wrong way to write that range.
I will literally never remember the difference between categories of aircraft with respect to the certification of aircraft and categories of aircraft with respect to the certification of airmen, which are somehow two totally different things.
Another one. On the test, sometimes, when you see "---", it means "zero". Other times, it means "figure it out yourself".
There isn't much available to indicate which is which.
@ZachWeinersmith Everybody get ready for the onslaught of #YeastLivesMatter hashtags from celebrities.

I am so sick of the "Narrator:" language pattern so common among people who overuse social media.
Your life doesn't have a narrator, and if it did, I'd hope they were better at their job than the crap you choose to put in their mouth.
These people think they're writing Arrested Development scripts, but it ends up coming off worse than knock-knock jokes.
